Project description:Optimal management of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is unclear. One treatment, surgical ligation, is associated with adverse outcomes. We reviewed data from the Kids' Inpatient Database (2000-2012) to determine if PDA ligation rates: (1) changed over time, (2) varied geographically, or (3) influenced surgical complication rates. In 2012, 47,900 infants <1500g birth weight were born in the United States, including 2,800 undergoing PDA ligation (5.9%). Ligation was more likely in infants <1000g (85.9% vs. 46.2%), and associated with necrotizing enterocolitis (59.2% vs. 37.5%), BPD (54.6% vs. 15.2%), severe intraventricular hemorrhage (16.4% vs. 5.3%), and hospital transfer (37.6% vs. 16.4%). Ligation rates peaked in 2006 at 87.4 per 1000 hospital births, dropping to 58.8 in 2012, and were consistently higher in Western states. Infants undergoing ligation were more likely to experience comorbidities. Rates of ligation-associated vocal cord paralysis increased over time (1.2-3.9%); however, mortality decreased (12.4-6.5%). Thus, PDA ligation has become less frequent, although infants being ligated are smaller and more medically complex. Despite increase in some complications, mortality rates improved perhaps reflecting advances in care.

Project description:ObjectiveEvaluate the association of late treatment with acetaminophen vs. immediate surgical ligation with death or neurodevelopmental impairment (NDI) among extremely low gestational age neonates (ELGANs) with persistent patent ductus arteriosus (pPDA).Study designRetrospective comparative epoch study of ELGANs with pPDA being considered for surgical ligation. ELGANs in epoch 1 (2009-2012) were referred for ligation, while infants in epoch 2 (2012-2015) were treated with oral acetaminophen and referred for ligation in the absence of improvement. The primary outcome was a composite of death/NDI at 18-24 months.ResultsNinety-two ELGANs with median[IQR] GA 25.2 weeks [24.4, 26.3] had pPDA (43 in epoch 1, 49 in -epoch 2) with acetaminophen-exposed neonates receiving 7 days [7, 7] of treatment. ELGANs in epoch 2 had reduced ligation (aOR 0.30; 95%CI: [0.11, 0.87]), but there was no difference in death/NDI (aOR 1.03; 95%CI: [0.30, 3.56]).ConclusionsLate treatment with acetaminophen to avoid surgery for pPDA is associated with reduced ligation but no difference in death/NDI, supporting the safety and effectiveness of this approach.

Project description:Surgery for complex pulmonary aspergilloma is known to be technically challenging, often for indurated hilar structures and obliterated pleural space. We report a case of left pneumonectomy for pulmonary aspergilloma with a history of patent ductus arteriosus ligation via anterolateral thoracotomy and aortopexy via median sternotomy and pericardiotomy. Left pneumonectomy was successfully accomplished by devising a surgical approach and procedures for transection of the left main pulmonary artery.

Project description:Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) ligation is usually performed by congenital cardiac surgeons. However, due to the uneven distribution of congenital cardiac surgeons in South Korea, many institutions depend solely on adult cardiac surgeons for congenital cardiac diseases. We report the outcomes of PDA ligations performed by adult cardiac surgeons at our institution.The electronic medical records of 852 neonates at Chung-Ang University Hospital, Seoul, South Korea from November 2010 to May 2014 were reviewed to identify patients with PDA.Of the 111 neonates with a diagnosis of PDA, 26 (23%) underwent PDA ligation. PDAs were ligated within 28 days of birth (mean, 14.5±7.8 days), and the mean gestational age of these patients was 30.3±4.6 weeks (range, 26 to 40 weeks) with a mean birth weight of 1,292.5±703.5 g (range, 480 to 3,020 g). No residual shunts through the PDA were found on postoperative echocardiography. There was 1 case of 30-day mortality (3.8%) due to pneumonia, and 6 cases of in-hospital mortality (23.1%) after 30 days, which is comparable to results from other centers with congenital cardiac surgery programs.Although our outcomes may not be generalizable to all hospital settings without a congenital cardiac surgery program, in select centers, PDA ligations can be performed safely by adult cardiac surgeons if no congenital cardiac surgery program is available.

Project description:BackgroundSurgical ligation of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) can be associated with long-term morbidity and adverse outcomes in neonates. Targeted neonatal echocardiography (TNE) has been increasingly used to improve the hemodynamic management. We aimed to evaluate the preoperative assessment impacts of the hemodynamic significance of PDA using TNE on PDA ligation rates and neonatal outcomes.MethodsThis observational study included preterm infants who underwent PDA ligation during two epochs (Epoch I: January 2013 to December 2014; Epoch II: January 2015 to June 2016). During Epoch II, a comprehensive TNE assessment was performed preoperatively to evaluate the hemodynamic significance of PDA. Primary outcome was the incidence of PDA ligation. Secondary outcomes included the incidence of postoperative cardiorespiratory instabilities, individual morbidities, and the composite outcome of death.ResultsA total of 69 neonates underwent PDA ligation. No difference in baseline demographics was found between the epochs. The incidence of PDA ligation in very low birth weight (VLBW) infants was lower during Epoch II than Epoch I [7.5% vs. 14.6%, rate ratio =0.51 (95% confidence interval =0.30-0.88)]. No differences were observed between epochs in the proportion of VLBW infants who developed post-operative hypotension or oxygenation failure. The composite outcome of death or major morbidity did not significantly differ between Epoch I and Epoch II (91.1% vs. 94.1%, P=1.000).ConclusionsIncorporating TNE into a standardized hemodynamic assessment program, we demonstrated a 49% reduction in PDA ligation rate without any increase in postoperative cardiopulmonary instability or short-term neonatal morbidities in a cohort of VLBW infants.

Project description:ObjectiveTo identify the predictor factors of left ventricular (LV) dysfunction following patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) surgical ligation.BackgroundPDA is viewed as a noticeable amongst the most widely recognized congenital heart defects in children and its closure is responsible for many hemodynamic changes that require intervention and care.MethodsA retrospective study included fifty children with isolated PDA treated by surgical ligation from June 2015 to June 2018. The LV dimensions and systolic function were assessed by two-dimensional echocardiography pre and post PDA ligation. All cases were followed-up on the first-day, 1 month and 6 months post ligation.ResultsThe mean age of cases was 15.78 ± 7.58 months and 72% were females. The mean duct size was 4.08 ± 1.25 mm. There was a marked decrease in LVEDd, LA/Ao, EF and FS in the first-day post ligation contrasted with pre ligation values. Moreover, an amazing decline in LVEDd and LA/Ao ratio was observed 1 month post ligation contrasted with the early post ligation status with asynchronous improvement of FS and EF at one and 6 months postoperatively.ConclusionPDA ligation is associated with a noteworthy LV systolic dysfunction within the first day post ligation; that in a significant number of patients may require anti-failure measures, prolong the hospital stay and necessitate a regular follow up and monitoring of LV function. PDA size, age, preoperative LVEDd and FS can be considered as predictor factors for suspicion of acute decrease in the LV systolic function early post PDA ligation.Trial registrationClinTrial.Gov NCT04018079 .

Project description:A 13-month-old Sphynx cat was referred for patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) ligation. A left thoracotomy was performed and the PDA was efficiently ligated. Immediately after chest tube placement, it presented extensive intrathoracic bleeding from the caudal intercostal artery. In view of the absolute necessity of a blood transfusion and given that compatible feline blood was not available, xenotransfusion of canine blood was administered to the cat and resulted in a positive outcome.

Project description:IntroductionMilrinone is administered after patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) ligation to prevent and treat postoperative hemodynamic instability (i.e., postligation cardiac syndrome). We aimed to explore the effectiveness of milrinone on in-hospital outcomes in infants who underwent PDA ligation using a nationwide inpatient database in Japan.MethodsUsing the Japanese Diagnosis Procedure Combination database, we identified patients who received milrinone after PDA ligation (n = 428) in neonatal intensive care units between July 2010 and March 2021 and those who did not (n = 3,392). We conducted a 1:4 propensity score-matched analysis with adjustment for background characteristics (e.g., gestational age, birth weight, comorbidities, preoperative treatments, and hospital background) to compare morbidities (bronchopulmonary dysplasia, intraventricular hemorrhage, necrotizing enterocolitis, and retinopathy of prematurity), mortality, total hospitalization costs, and other outcomes. For sensitivity analysis, we performed an overlap propensity score-weighted analysis.ResultsIn-hospital morbidity, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, intraventricular hemorrhage, and necrotizing enterocolitis occurred in 58%, 48%, 9.5%, and 7.1% of patients, respectively; the in-hospital mortality was 5.4%. After 1:4 propensity score matching, no significant difference was observed regarding mortality (7.1 vs. 5.7%), in-hospital morbidity (55 vs. 50%), bronchopulmonary dysplasia (44 vs. 41%), intraventricular hemorrhage (7.8 vs. 9.1%), necrotizing enterocolitis (8.5 vs. 8.9%), retinopathy of prematurity (21 vs. 22%), or total hospitalization costs (median: approximately 86,000 vs. 82,000 US dollars) between milrinone users (n = 425) and nonusers (n = 1,698). Sensitivity analyses yielded consistent results.ConclusionsMilrinone use after PDA ligation was not associated with improved in-hospital outcomes, such as mortality and morbidity.
